One-Thousand Times Lucky

Chapter 4

Miami is cool.

We surfed for like ten thousand hours!

Nick sat on the beach with a girl named Marcia.

Marcia was Sam's wife.

Me and Sam caught and wiped out.

I finally met my pen pal, Isabelle Palmer.

She suggests everyone calls her Luisa.

Luisa helped me study Miami.

Dixon was cute, but after the not-really-a-dump dump I didn't want a boyfriend.

The last day of Miami was coming and I really didn't want to leave.

I met so many people like, Sam, Luisa, Marcia, and Dixon.

Before we had to left, I went for one more ride.

I paddled out on the clear blue water, over the waves.

Today was a perfect day for surfing.

I remembered the first day of private school, those were the first words of being rich.

I remembered something that moment.

I WAS rich!

I saw a perfect wave, paddle and caught it.

Boom! I had a gnarly wipeout on the amazingly huge wave.

I was underwater and noticed something, I could breath under the water!

Just then a very colorful fish swam up to me.

"Hello, I'm Mia!" The fish said to me.

"I'm." I said until Mia cut me off.

"Yes, I know your name, Tara Samuel."

"Oh, OK, um why am I breathing underwater?" I asked.

"Because your a mermaid, duh!"

"I'm a what?!?!"

"Fine I'm just kidding!"

"Phew!"

"You're a Hermaid!"

"OK, this is just a dream." I told myself.

I took a few deep breaths.

"No it isn't." Mia said.

"Shut up Mia." I said with my eyes closed.

"Follow me." She said.

I followed Mia through the water.

While she yapped about Mertillia, I glanced at all the butiful coral around.

"Here we are!" she said.

"Wow with 100 w's!" I said.
